Love the paint job on the armor and helmet. Who knew the Powered Assault Commando Armor and Shock Trooper Helmet would look so good together? I like the idea to take gold items and then paint them so that the gold seems like the accent instead off the painted part. Really digging that modded hair piece. I have a few of those and will have to give it a try. How did you manage to make it not look so cut up? Paint, Paint Pen, Sculpy?

Thanks, and yes, the Powered Assault items and Shock Trooper items complement each other really well.

For the hair, I ended up using my short nosed wire cutters to trim off the amount I didn't want. It cuts really easy with those so be careful. Since I didn't want a 'straight' hair cut, those worked perfect.Then I used a wide tipped xacto and trimmed the outter edge tips to give the hair a curved look.Then I used the same wide tippped xacto and lightly shaved around the cut edges. When done carefully it removes the rough edges and the 'off colored cut pieces', leaving behind a clean and properly colored piece. After I get the edges smoothed to what I want, I wipe the piece down and then apply a coat of fingernail polish to the full hair piece - to give it all the same sheen.The only scratch, as you see in the pic, is because I tried using my xacto first and when it slipped and marked the hair I changed to the cutters.

@SMarine: Thanks!And yes, you never know what you will find lurking in those long lost hidden places. :o)
